Welcome back to WebUrbEx my Godot project where you explore the retro internet. Launch I launched the game last week. That’s pretty exciting. My friend Schnumn was going to the artist alley at MCM London so between us we organised a physical release of the game. Apparently 15 people bought game CDs so… That’s pretty
This is a little break from the normal “format” of WebUrbEx dev posts, and some of this isn’t really in the game, but I’d like to briefly talk about using lossy and destructive processes to finish off artistic stuff both for and not for WebUrbEx Crush and Index One technique I’ve been using a lot

I very much dislike hot weather, and one of our latest “make the weather horrible each year” inventions has been a little something called generative AI.

Be it zany background colours, images, gifs of dancing skeletons, etc. So before releasing WebUrbEx I wanted to get in on at least some of that action. Although quick side
Welcome back to WebUrbEx my Godot project where you explore the retro internet. So I’ve got all of these decidedly unfancy websites but the only way to access them is me manually adding them to the Bookmarks tab at the top. This isn’t particularly scalable, or moddable. Let’s see how we can change that. So
Welcome back to WebUrbEX my Godot project where you explore the retro internet. If you’ll remember, last time my game looked like this: Well, now it looks like this: I mean… now that I put them side by side, not that impressive a leap. Aesthetically, almost good for web1.0 feels but with some bits of
